A Young American Wartime Nurse's Hospital Journey
A soldier's vivid wartime diary recounts being wounded on the French front, enduring shell fire to an ambulance ride, and to hospital ships. He describes Red Cross nurses, the Panama ship, and later care at Munsey ward, with vivid scenes of comrades, visitors, and a close brush with danger while escaping a ward wall.
